QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN TEACHER EDUCATION
Mrs. Jishnupriya Rout. QualityImprovementInTeacherEducation.http://ierj.in/journal
INTRODUCTION
Teaching as a noble profession contributes significantly in the nation building process. Producing
quality teachers should be a crucial aspect in formulating education policy of any country. The teacher
community plays a pivotal role in entire educational system of a country in the sense that the success or
failure of education policy largely depends on them. The efficiency of an educational system depends
largely on the efficiency of its teachers. Infrastructure, equipment, curricula, books and teaching
methods are no doubt important for quality education. Teachers are one of the main pillars of the
society responsible for educating young people for different walks of life. The socio-economic and
political development of any society depends upon a well-coordinated teacher education programme.
*Understanding of the curriculum and in purposes. Particularly when reform programs and new
paradigms of teaching and learning are introduced.
*General professionalism, good morale and dedication to the goals of teaching.
* Ability to communicate effectively.
* Ability to communicate enthusiasm for learning to students.
* Interest in students an individual, sense of caring and responsibility for helping them learn and
become good people and a sense of compassion.
*Good character, sense of ethics and personal discipline.
*Ability to work with others and to build good relationships within the educational instructions and
community.
Although the qualities listed above are needed in each individual teacher, teaching is not practiced
most effectively as an individual activity. The teacher is always functioning as part of a social network,
either with his or her students or within the school community.
The most frequent response is that a great teacher develops relationships with students. The
research literature agrees with them: Teachers need to be able to build trusting relationships with
students in order to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment.

This is a broad category that incorporates knowledge of the cognitive, social and emotional
development of learners. It includes an understanding of how students learn at a given developmental
level; how learning in a specific subject area typically progresses like learning progressions or
trajectories; awareness that learners have individual needs and abilities; and an understanding that
instruction should be tailored to meet each learner’s needs. One student eloquently described it as:
“The teacher understands the pace and capacity of the student.”
4. Dedication to teaching
Dedication refers to a love of teaching or passion for the work, which includes commitment to
students’ success. Responses often referred to loving the subject matter or simply being dedicated to
the work. To a student, this means a teacher should be “always willing to help and give time.”
Students also said that teachers should be able to engage and motivate students to learn.
Researchers talk about three types of engagement that are required for students to learn: cognitive,
emotional, and behavioral. Survey respondents mostly focused on making content interesting and the
ability to motivate students to learn.
If you think about the best teachers you know, it makes sense. Those exceptional teachers
develop strong bonds with students, and use them to help students learn.
